Chapter 6: Pushing the envelope
After closing the stall, Mu Lingfeng continued to wander around the market, the shouts one after another, they were all garbage and white clothes, everyone was a level 1 player, and they didn't expect any surprises, so they couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"At least 1 silver coin, or exchange it for mage equipment, don't bargain BB, see things clearly before talking!"
An angry roar came not far away, and Mu Lingfeng was a little interested, could it be a green suit? I couldn't help but speed up my pace.
"Don't, brother! It's not a bargain, it's a hard day today, eating and drinking, there are less than 20 copper coins left, these 2 silver and 46 copper are really all the belongings of the brothers, besides, you've been sitting for a long time, no one can buy it except me, sell it early, how good is it to buy some equipment? ”
"If you don't sell, you don't sell!"
"Humph! Toast and don't eat and drink, brothers, remember what he looks like, block him for a day tomorrow, and let him know how powerful our celebrity army is! ”
Mu Lingfeng looked at both sides of the quarrel, could this family and celebrity belong to the same family? It's so brutal to do things.
The mage stall owner who sat there roared heartbreakingly, and the strong man with a dozen people surrounding the stall kept threatening him.
Glancing at the items on the stall, it was a lonely skill book, and seeing that the mage was dressed in a novice cloth clothes, he estimated what shit luck he had.
"Skill Book: Heavy Shield Slam?" Mu Lingfeng was happy, squeezed away the few strong men in front of him as if no one was around, directly bought the books on the stall, automatically deducted 1 silver from the backpack, and slapped his hand.
Heavy Shield Slam (Level 1), slams the target with a heavy shield, dealing 15+200% Attack Strength Damage, and interrupts the target's cast, attaches a large amount of aggro, consumes 30 rage, has a cooldown of 8 seconds, and requires class: Trainee Shield Armor Warrior
"Hey, nice!" Mu Lingfeng glanced at the mage, the mage was stunned for a moment, looked at him gratefully, and quickly closed the stall and ran away.
"! Where did you come from, bastard, you disturbed Lao Tzu's good deeds, you have a kind of horse that won't go out to practice tomorrow! The strong man who took the lead pointed his finger in front of Mu Lingfeng's eyes, almost poking him.
Mu Lingfeng pushed away the strong man's hand, patted his face, and pulled away a smile hideously, the scar on his face was stretched longer, and his bright red eyes stared at him,
"When Lao Tzu was killing, you were still peeing and playing with mud, get out of the way, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu!"
The strong man swallowed his saliva and retreated in fright.
"Warning: Please stop your insulting behavior immediately, or you will be wanted by the guards and imprisoned for 24 hours!"
Mu Lingfeng grinned, and walked towards the training ground indifferently, there is still something to study today!
"Second brother, do you want to report this matter to the boss?" A younger brother leaned over and asked.
The celebrity A Lei's face was red and white, he was actually scared away by a person, after so many years, he lost his face in front of his little brother today, and now everyone feels that he is laughing at himself, and he can't help but shout angrily, "Report a fart, this is Lao Tzu's business!" Inform the brothers, and see that the warrior with a heavy shield slaughtered him! Lao Tzu wants him to stay in this novice town forever! ! ”
Mu Lingfeng, who left, didn't know that he had provoked two guilds in one night, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care, he had lived in the slums like a beast for ten years, and his calm surface sealed the madness in his heart.
Mu Lingfeng walked straight into the training ground, at this time the hall was empty, only a few staff members were sitting there dozing, there was only a strong orc man with a height of nearly two meters on the first floor, the strong and sturdy muscles supported the armor on his body, and the short black hair like steel needles was all showing strength and leanness, and he was sitting on the ground wiping his shield.
"Dear Mentor, Hello! I'm a trainee shield armor warrior and I hope to be taught by you! "These NPCs are all the same as real people, Mu Lingfeng doesn't dare to be the slightest bigger.
Master Tieqing raised his head and glanced at Mu Lingfeng, laughing and said, "Not bad! You are the first recruit to come to me on the first night, we warriors are to exercise our bodies and minds all the time, those lazy guys, sooner or later they will die on the battlefield! ”
"We players can be resurrected." Mu Lingfeng secretly complained, but raised his right hand with a serious expression, slammed his fist on his chest, and roared angrily,
"Power and glory! For the Horde! ”
"Blood and thunder! For the Horde! ”
Tie Qing immediately grabbed the axe, roared angrily, and nodded at Mu Lingfeng, "Very good!" You have what it takes to be a true warrior of my tribe! But your body is a little too thin now, so let's go to the training ground to practice first! ”
"System Prompt: Players trigger Hidden Class Quest 1: 'Intensive Training'!"
"Forced acceptance! Your 'Power Strike' will be replaced with 'Valiant Strike'! ”
"Mission Objective: Go to the training ground, block 100 attacks from the Wooden Man, and perform 100 'Heroic Strikes'!"
Mu Lingfeng was happy in his heart, what the book said was really right, it was necessary to communicate with NPCs as real human beings, and it would be easier to get the task to gain the favor of the other party.
Mu Lingfeng immediately bowed slightly to Master Tieqing to express his gratitude, walked towards the training ground, and took a look at the new skill by the way.
Valorant Strike (Level 1): An advanced skill with a powerful blow that causes your next Normal Attack to deal 18 + Weapon Damage + 120% Attack Strength, with Medium Aggro, 30 rage, and no cooldown. Required Class: Trainee Shield Armor Warrior
Mu Lingfeng is a little speechless about the "heroic strike", this skill is to strengthen the next general attack, which means that it does not affect the release of other skills, high anger consumption means pure anger skills, and anger mainly comes from attacking and being attacked, after dodging, it will not return to anger, the attack speed is limited, which means that he has to be frequently beaten and parried, blocked, in order to have enough anger to use "heavy shield slamming" and "heroic strike", now he is a lone ranger, without a team to cooperate with him, this skill can only enter the cold palace for the time being, Obviously, the value of giving priority to heavy shield slams is higher.
"Hey! Children! This is a training ground for professionals, not a place for a rookie like you, so get out of here! ”
The guard chatting at the door glanced at Mu Lingfeng, whistled at him, pointed at the big sword in his hand, and roared.
Mu Lingfeng hurriedly stepped forward to show off the task, and said with a smile,
"Brother Guard, Master Tieqing asked me to come."
"Hmm! Indeed, not bad, boy! You can stand out from that group of rookies so quickly, let's get in! can be favored by Master Tieqing, the future is limitless, come on! Ha ha! An orc warrior next to him patted Mu Lingfeng's shoulder and laughed roughly.
Mu Lingfeng rubbed his shoulders, and the question-mark level guard almost didn't stand firm after a slap.
Under the urging of the guards, Mu Lingfeng hurriedly walked into the training ground, and heard another prompt sound,
"System prompt: You enter the training ground in the case of a mission, the default is the personal training ground 001, other players cannot enter, you can't leave the training ground before the end of the mission, all skills have no consumption, no cooldown, and the skills will return to normal after leaving the training ground!"
Mu Lingfeng glanced at the prompt, looking at this field, the personal training ground is relatively small, probably less than the area of two basketball courts, you can rush from beginning to end at a time with a charge, there is an inferior console next to the entrance, at a glance, people can't help but think if it is a low-level goblin practice, there is only a wooden joystick and a green button on the console.
Mu Lingfeng experimented, flicked the joystick up and down, you can choose "Wooden Man" or "Wooden Puppet", and by flipping horizontally, you can switch to attack, armor, magic resistance, attack speed, movement speed and other options, and adjust the difficulty you want.
Mu Lingfeng hesitated, the task was not to let himself practice actual combat, so he chose the "wooden man", the difficulty is always one line stronger than the player.
Suddenly, a wooden stake was brushed out of the field, swaying like a tumbler, and from time to time he waved the wooden sword in his hand.
Training Wooden Man (golem creature, level changes with target)
Health: 10000
Armor: None, constant damage reduction of 1
Mu Lingfeng charged over and "struck heroically" a hundred times in a row, anyway, he didn't consume it during the mission, and it was over.
Immediately got a task completion evaluation of A, after all, "Heroic Strike" is not a free skill, you can only try to hit weak point attacks, and the A-level evaluation is already quite good, which means that the completion degree is more than 90% every time.
Mu Lingfeng rested for a while, saw that the wooden man's health was full, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, stood in front of the wooden man, forcibly forced himself not to dodge, and completely focused his spiritual power on the shield and the wooden man's attack.
The wooden man staggered and spun in a circle, and slashed at Mu Lingfeng with a sword.
"Wow!"
"Block completion 88%!"
Mu Lingfeng thought about it for a while, and the feeling of killing wolves in the afternoon emerged, and he adjusted his movements again.
"Block completion 90% ......"
"Block completion 93%......"
Soon, Mu Lingfeng found a perfect point, that is, there will be an attack weakness at the moment when the wooden man attacks, and at that moment, a special blocking action will bounce the wooden man's attack, obtain 100% block completion, and make the wooden man's next attack a little delayed, the completion of the free action skill is difficult to grasp, which requires extremely high eyesight, awareness and reaction speed.
Some players are aware of the enemy's weaknesses but can't keep up with the action, some can't spot them at all, and some don't pay attention to them early in the game, and it's hard to change them when they develop their own defensive habits later!
Of course, there is no shortage of these Mu Lingfeng, which suddenly made him extremely excited, and he kept trying, after becoming familiar with this special way of blocking, Mu Lingfeng forced himself to keep blocking, in order to achieve muscle memory, form a conditioned reflex, and try to perform a "heroic blow" after blocking.
Gradually, the blocking action became extremely perfect, but Mu Lingfeng found that the delay time of the wooden man was too short, and the effect of the "heroic strike" was not good, the starting action was too big, so he simply slammed it with the shield after blocking, but the action was very coherent.
Mu Lingfeng, who was excited, practiced tirelessly, completely forgetting that the task had already been completed.
"System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering the Radiant Achievement ......"
Mu Lingfeng, who was focused, didn't notice the system prompt at all, and tried his best to deal with the faster and faster attack speed of the wooden man, his attention became more and more concentrated, and his body seemed to have found a sense of rhythm, which was extremely comfortable.
"Bang!"
More than three hours later, Mu Lingfeng habitually blocked, but found that the expected attack did not come, it turned out that the wooden man in front of him had been smashed alive with his shield!
I didn't have time to think about it, and another system prompt sounded!
"System prompt: You've completed a glorious achievement, do you want to announce your name?"
"No!"
"World Announcement: Congratulations to 'Anonymous' for completing the Glorious Achievement: Earning the Achievement'You Won, Poor Wood Man Hates You! Earn the glorious achievement 'Nasty!' Don't even let go of the weak wooden people! Getting the Glorious Achievement' is too strong! You're a natural defense master! Earn the title 'Puppet Buster'! Earn the title 'Shield Master'! The rewards are hereby combined, and 'Anonymous' will receive +1500 World Fame, congratulations on the birth of the strong!! ”
World Gazette ......
………
Maybe it's because of the merger announcement, but this time the system actually announced 9 times before stopping.
All the players immediately boiled.
"Sure enough, it's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the masters of this world are no longer dormant!"
"On the first day, someone has achieved glorious achievements, doesn't he sleep at night? Damn it! ”
"Keep all the brothers on the lookout for suspicious players! Notify me as soon as you find it! ”
"I don't know which virtual game the god was in before, the strength is really unimaginable!
…… ……
Mu Lingfeng was already stunned by the surprise, only to find that there was an even bigger surprise.
"System Prompt: Congratulations to players for improving their blocking skills and creating their own epic exclusive skills, please set the name of the skill!"
Mu Lingfeng trembled and typed in "Block Shield Attack", deeply calming his excitement.
"Skill name set successful!"
"World Announcement: Congratulations to 'Anonymous' for becoming the first player to create his own epic unique skill, and will be rewarded with +200 World Fame!"
The already excited players are boiling again!
"! Where did the strongman come from!? Continuous announcements? Definitely one person! ”
"This guy, what kind of shit luck has gone, let the brothers pay attention to trying their own skills when leveling up!"
The boss who had just let his brothers pay attention to it suddenly yelled and reissued the order.
"Hey, hey! It's really not lonely, the world's best players gather in one game, and I'm already excited! Ha ha! ”
…… ……
Players only hate why the world chat channel hasn't been opened yet, and the excitement is indescribable!
Mu Lingfeng felt like he was going to faint happily! Hurriedly open the interface to see the attributes of achievements, titles, and skills!
Glorious Achievement: You've Won! Poor wooden man hates you!
Achievement description: Block the shield 10,000 times in a row, and you can't fight the wooden man!
Glorious Achievement: Hate! Don't even let go of the weak wooden people!
Achievement Description: Incredible! You actually smashed the wooden man!
Glorious Achievement: Too strong! You're a natural defense master!
Achievement description: 10,000 consecutive blocks without mistakes, although it is only a wooden man's attack, but it is also very powerful, please keep up the good work!
Title: Puppet Buster
Title Description: When facing a golem target, all of the golem's stats are reduced by 10%, and the attack has a chance to confuse the golem enemy for 3 seconds
Title: Shield Holder
Title description: The shield is like a part of your body, reduces the shield equipment requirement by 20%
Block Shield Strike (Epic Exclusive Only Skill, Alternate Block): After accurately blocking, the enemy breaks the move and quickly shields the enemy, and in the state of the broken move caused by Accurate Block, the cooldown of the Heavy Shield Slam is immediately reset, and the Heavy Shield Slam has no consumption, no cooldown, ignores defense, and the cooldown is 5 seconds.
Although I knew the general idea just now, I was still excited to see that these rewards belonged to me.
Achievements will affect the mastermind's final evaluation of the player, competitiveness is more effective than gold coins, and the title can be worn or not, the effect is automatic, and the same effect takes the highest value and cannot be stacked.
But it's the most exciting thing to create your own epic skill, and the continuous shield attack is simply not too strong!
With a few waves of his shield, Mu Lingfeng reluctantly collected his mood, returned to the career hall, and saluted the shield armor warrior NPC Tieqing Master again,
"Master, I've completed the task, please tell me what to do next?"
Master Tieqing nodded, "The kid is very good, he has actually improved the most suitable way to block for himself, and he is a good material for shield armor!" In this mission, the attack rating is A, the defense rating is SSS, and the overall mission evaluation is S+, and the difficulty of your next mission will be increased according to this difficulty, and you can choose SS level and below difficulty tasks. Of course, I want you to choose the difficult mission, the true warrior of the tribe is to be brave and fearless! As he spoke, Tie Qing patted Mu Lingfeng's shoulder heavily.
Mu Lingfeng's body flickered, forcibly stopped his urge to dodge, nodded and said, "I'm willing to take on the SS-level mission!" ”
"Good! He is the best apprentice shield armor warrior in this group of adventurers! Tie Qing exclaimed loudly, and waved his big hand at Mu Lingfeng,
"System Prompt: Congratulations to players for completing S+-level tasks, rewarding 10,000 experience points, and advancing the charge skill to Savage Charge!"
"Your level has been increased to 2."
Savage Charge (Epic Skill): Hit the target with 600% movement speed and heavy shoulders, dealing 300% strength + attack strength damage, knocking all enemies within the target line (the height of the attack depends on the size of the target, and the attack distance depends on the remaining charging distance, such as charging 40 yards away from the target, then hitting all targets in a 5-yard long line,) landing stunned for 3 seconds, and taking secondary fall damage, during the charge, you can adjust the direction within 60° in front of you, and you can stop by yourself, but the skill falls into cooldown, can be used in any situation (decontrolled), attack range 5-45 yards, cannot be knocked away at 5-30 yards, only stunned targets, can be released in combat, knocks targets away at 30-45 yards, rage regeneration 45, cooldown 15 seconds. Required Class: Trainee Shield Armor Warrior
Mu Lingfeng drooled, compared the charge and the savage charge, the gap is simply not too big, long displacement, damage, control, decontrol, low cooldown, high anger recovery, it is really an epic skill, compared to "blocking shield strikes", it is not much better! (Blocking shield strikes is 3 seconds less than blocking cooldown, and it's already a magic skill)
"System Prompt: Player triggers SS-level Class Mission 2: 'Terror Proving Ground!' Task Forced Acceptance! Can't form a team! ”
"Mission Objective: Go to the 'Proving Ground of Terror' and kill the kobold chief Sandoyo!"
Master Tieqing patted Mu Lingfeng with relief, this time he didn't make much effort, and said with a smile, "Come on, recruit, this task will be done when you are level 5, you are not an opponent yet, and I will hand over the task of arranging career promotion to you at that time!" ”
Mu Lingfeng nodded, bowed, and left quietly.
